Johnny Depp Alice In Wonderland interview and trailer
NG Kids wanders into the strange world of magical new 3D movie, Alice In Wonderland, and has a cup of tea with the film’s Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp…
NG Kids Hi Johnny! We love the new movie. Did you read Alice In Wonderland when you were a kid?
Johnny Yes, I read the book when I was younger and I saw the Disney cartoon, too. What I remember more than anything was the brilliant characters like the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, and Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee – they’re all great!
NG Kids You’re American, so did you find it difficult to do the Mad Hatter’s Scottish accent in the film?
Johnny No – it was fun! I like playing around with accents, and a strong Scottish accent seemed right for the Hatter. I wanted him to be quite dark and dangerous, so this voice seemed to fit!
NG Kids The Hatter has a pretty mad look…
Johnny He does! Before we started to make the film, I did some sketches and watercolours of how I thought he should look, and so did the director Tim Burton, and we came up with something really similar. The Hatter is quite extreme – he goes from being very happy to very sad – and we wanted a look to match his character.
NG Kids You wear hats a lot – even when you’re not in movies…
Johnny Oh yeah… I LOVE hats! I have quite a lot of them…
NG Kids Alice finds herself in a pretty strange dream-world in the movie. Do you have strange dreams?
Johnny Sometimes I do! My dreams can be pretty weird – I’ve had dreams about being chased through the streets of Hollywood before…!
NG Kids The Mad hatter is a pretty crazy guy, but who’s the maddest person you know?
Johnny Ha, ha! I think it’s definitely the movie’s director, Tim Burton! Not many people are crazier than him – he’s definitely my favourite mad person!
Alice In Wonderland is out now on DVD and Blu-ray!
